For one day (or one day a week), refrain from something you habitually do to run away, to escape. Pick something concrete, such as overeating or excessive sleeping or overworking or spending too much time texting or checking e-mails. Make a commitment to yourself to gently and compassionately work with refraining from this habit for this one day. Really commit to it. Do this with the intention that it will put you in touch with the underlying anxiety or uncertainty that you’ve been avoiding. Do it and see what you discover.
do you think
calling me “angry”
is an insult.
every time you call me “angry”
i hear your voice salt with guilt
and
i laugh.
look how easy it is to reveal you.

This gif makes my heart feel so full. Every black girl is a beautiful black girl, but when black girls/gurls/gorls know it we’re unstoppable. Our whole lives we’re told that we’re ugly and unlovable, too dark, too big, too loud, too black, and when we find out they’re lying…look the fuck out.
